Los ntawm Ben Scheelk, Program Associate, The Ocean Foundation

Nyob ntsiag to. Qhov ntshiab, tsis muaj qhov tsis hnov ​​​​tsw, tsis hnov ​​​​lus ntsiag to uas ua rau koj xav tias koj nyob hauv lub tshuab nqus tsev. Qhov ntawd yog kuv qhov kev xav ntev ntev ntawm lub kaum me ntsis ntawm British Columbia's Strait of Georgia aptly hu ua "Desolation Sound."

Nyob nruab nrab ntawm lub hnub qub violet thiab tangerine hiav txwv, cov chaw nres nkoj xav paub uas saib koj nrog lub qhov muag dub tob tob thiab tsaus ntuj li cov fjords thaum ub uas kab ntawm ntug dej hiav txwv idyllic, thiab nyob rau hauv qhov tsis muaj contrails, lub suab ntawm kev khiav tsheb, thiab yuav luag tag nrho cov cim ntawm kev vam meej, kuv pom kuv tus kheej tau da dej hauv kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb-thiab niaj hnub da dej-ntawm hav zoov hav zoov loj no thaum mus ntsib tsis ntev los no. Qhov kev paub dhau los tau ua rau kuv nyob hauv lub tuam txhab sib raug zoo ntawm ib qho ntawm Ocean Foundation Cov Phooj Ywg Ntawm Cov Nyiaj: Cov Phooj Ywg ntawm Georgia Strait Alliance.

Rau ntau tshaj ob xyoo lawm, lub Georgia Strait Alliance (GSA), ib lub koom haum Vancouver Island, yog "tsuas yog pej xeem cov pab pawg tau tsom mus rau kev tiv thaiv ib puag ncig marine hauv thiab ib ncig ntawm tag nrho Strait of Georgia - qhov chaw uas British Columbians feem ntau nyob, ua haujlwm, thiab ua si." Thoob plaws hauv lawv lub neej, GSA tau tawm tsam tsis tu ncua rau kev tiv thaiv ntawm qhov tshwj xeeb marine lub vaj kaj siab no, ua tiav kev ncua kev ua haujlwm ntawm salmon aquaculture operations, xav tau kev txhim kho kev lag luam, tawm tswv yim rau kev kho dej phwj zoo, txhawb kev tsim kho tshiab National Marine Conservation Areas, thiab ua ib qho khoom plig- yeej kev sib tw ntawm "Green Boating."

Ua hauj lwm kom "ua kom muaj kev nkag siab rau pej xeem thiab yeej cov kev cai pej xeem hloov pauv ntawm cov teeb meem xws li cov ntaub so ntswg thiab cov dej phwj tuaj, kev pheej hmoo ntawm cov roj nchuav, kev poob ntawm qhov chaw nyob thiab cov dej ntses ntses, kev cuam tshuam rau kev ua liaj ua teb ntses thiab kev xav tau kev tiv thaiv cov chaw nyob hauv hiav txwv," GSA yog ib qho tseem ceeb heev. suav nrog kev sib tham ntawm cov rooj sib tham loj txog Strait, thiab tus neeg txhawb nqa thiab tus thawj coj ntawm kev tshawb fawb txog kev tshawb fawb, kev tawm tsam kev tawm tsam, kev saib xyuas kev ua ub no, thiab kev ua raws cai. Los ntawm kev tiv thaiv orca whales, txhawm rau khaws kev ncaj ncees ntawm cov tsiaj qus thiab cov khoom tsim tau zoo, GSA yog kev coj ua kom ntseeg tau tias cov peev txheej tseem ceeb no tau khaws cia rau tib neeg thiab cov tsiaj qus hauv zej zog, uas nyob hauv hav zoov loj no, rau ntau tiam neeg.

Txij li xyoo 2004, Lub Koom Haum Dej Hiav Txwv tau muab kev txhawb nqa nyiaj txiag rau Georgia Strait Alliance, uas tau muab lub koom haum muaj peev xwm nce se-txiav kev txhawb nqa los ntawm cov neeg pub dawb, cov koom haum ntiag tug, thiab tsoomfwv cov peev txheej hauv Tebchaws Meskas. Thaum mus ncig hauv British Columbia, kuv tau hu rau GSA tom qab siv sijhawm ob peb hnub kayaking thiab mus pw hav zoov thoob plaws hauv Strait kom xav txog kuv qhov kev paub dhau los thiab ua tsaug rau lawv txhua qhov kev siv zog los tiv thaiv qhov chaw zoo kawg nkaus. Michelle Young, tus kws saib xyuas nyiaj txiag hauv lub koom haum, tau hais lus rau kuv qhov kev xav thiab pom zoo tias nws ib txwm tau "tso rov qab [nws] tus ntsuj plig paddling thiab caij nkoj Desolation Sound thiab Georgia Strait."

Raws li kev hem thawj rau lub ecosystem no ntau ntxiv, thiab kev hloov pauv huab cua tau npaj los hloov cov voj voog biogeochemical tseem ceeb rau kev noj qab haus huv thiab kev ruaj ntseg ntawm thaj av cov khoom noj khoom haus, lub Ocean Foundation zoo siab kom muaj kev sib koom tes zoo hauv Georgia Strait Alliance los hais txog ntau qhov chaw ib puag ncig. teeb meem ntsib thaj chaw thiab tsim kho kev tshawb fawb, kev coj noj coj ua hauv zej zog los tiv thaiv qhov chaw tseem ceeb no.

Rov qab rau hauv Washington DC, kev tswj hwm chaos ntawm kev nyob hauv nroog feem ntau zoo li poob rau lub suab ntawm qhov xwm txheej. Tab sis, thaum lub sirens blaring, lub tsheb teeb qhov muag tsis pom kev, lub tshav kub ntawm lub swamp tig-lub nroog yog kev tsim txom, thiab dej hiav txwv zoo li nyob deb, kuv sim khiav mus rau qhov chaw deb ntawm British Columbia, qhov twg los nag. rhuav tshem cov iav zoo li ib lab crystalline kwj deg, gauzy xiav silhouette ntawm ntug hiav txwv thaj tsam khawb ntawm cov huab cua qis, thiab lub suab nkaus xwb, tsis muaj dab tsi hlo li.

Georgia Strait Alliance ua haujlwm nrog The Ocean Foundation ua ib qho ntawm peb "Cov Phooj Ywg ntawm Cov Nyiaj," qhov kev pom zoo ua ntej kev sib raug zoo uas ua rau cov koom haum thoob ntiaj teb nrhiav kev pab los ntawm Asmeskas cov peev nyiaj.
